India won't get technology transfer for new jet radar: Raytheon
The US Navy has ordered 437 systems for its Super Hornets. Australia has ordered another 24 AESAs for its F/A-18s.
"In phase zero, we will supply 18 aircraft in fully assembled condition. In phase one, we will supply the aircraft in semi-knocked down condition with 1,800 parts and 300 tools," Mike Rietz, F-18 programme manager for India, said during a defence exposition in New Delhi in February.
"In phase two, the aircraft will come in completely knocked down condition with 17,000 parts and 1,000-plus tools. In phase three, the aircraft and its entire range of 30,000 parts will be indigenously manufactured in India," he added.
'In this way, we will gradually raise the level of technology that HAL (Hindustan Aircraft Ltd - which will build the aircraft in India) will have to absorb," Rietz said.
